Just playing around

Well, after seeing a post on another forum about product photography, it got me going to try some. I went from zero experience in this kind of "still life" shot to this result in about 40-50 pictures, and an hour and a halves worth of time. I know this is by no means a professional result, but I think its pretty good for a complete beginner. I started with a fake Rolex, then to an Ipod shuffle, to a bottle of beer, then to this. Tell me what you think!! Theres also virtually no pp on this photo, just rotation correction and crop.

The background looks dusty or dandruffy or something...too many little white specks. Also, the typography on the product seems to be soft.

I guess I didnt really notice it because I knew what it was. I was trying to get the right look of "wet" on the bottle, and the background also has a fine mist of water on it. Its the reflection from the flash that illuminates it.
